Description From Owner:
- When the post office opened in 1892 the village was named for pere Joseph-Marie Paquet (1804-1869) who served a number of parishes on the E coast of NB including nearby Caraquet from 1848-1869
- Paquetville achieved international fame as the title of a hit song by Edith Butler, an Acadian singer and composer. She was born here in 1942 and has been called a 'paquet' of dynamite.
- She has contributed to the advancement of Acadian culture and heritage through her many appearances across Canada and in Europe.
